I am such a good little helper(tooting my own horn)

My Mother in law is having problems getting her disability insurance going. She has called and filed paperwork to get SSDI but they have either turned her down because either she hasnt filled out the paperwork like they wants her too or she needs more documentation.

I told her I would help her out as much as I can and I have resorted to the net to see if others have had as much difficulty as she is having. What I have found out is that there are different resources she can use. I found a great one called Allsup.com and their success rate is 98 percent so strongly recommended she call them to help her get her paperwork done. They need all the help they can get and I know she qualifies.

I hope all my researching helps her out. I wont know till next week but I feel really possitive that my recomendation is what she needed.




I need a camcorder badly

I cannot believe how big my twin boys have gotten. They are a month old and they are getting huge. I wish my camcorder still worked so I could record them. I had planned on looking at digital camcorders before the babies were born and purchasing one to film their birth but they came so unexpectedly that I didn’t have time to. I still want to by one and record all of their milestones. I also want to record all of the kids cause they do and say the darnest things.

My Tristan is going to be starting kindergarten and I would love to have recording of that. I need to persuade my hubby to buy one. I need to practice on laying the charm so he can go and buy me one. If I try and save for one they twin boys will brobably be walking and going to school by then.




decluttering little by little

I Really need to go throught the kids toys and give some away and get rid of the ones that are broken. The kids toybox is overflowing and I dont think that they play with half of the toys they have. Plus I need to make room for the birthdays and holidays cause my family likes ot give the kids toys as if they needed any more. I always ask for educational toys and the always get what they wnat which is usually some really noisy and lous toy. I swear my family does it on purpose cause they know it drives me bananas.

On a totally unrelated topic I have been playing Michael jackson’s music nonstop. I hadn’t listened to his albums in lord knows how long and now I cant help myself and keep playing them over and over. Okay now I have to go back and finish going through the girls toys and start with the boys.




I am getting old

I am just now realizing how old I am getting by watching my daughter go through puberty. I cant believe how grown she has gotten. She has suddenly changed into a young woman and is worried about what she is going to wear what kind of styles are in and is always trying different styles with her hair. I am so not used to having a teen.

Her latest battle has been with pimples. She gets one or two here and there but to her it is a tragedy. I have bought her acne cream and have told her that it should take care of it. But being the emotional pre teen that she is she keeps telling me that if they dont go away she will need some kind of acne treatments. I keep telling her that she doesn’t have enough pimples to need treatment but she doesn’t want to listen. I should just be happy that this is a minor battle right.




Finally I get them

I have just gotten the babies pictures now I have to order the baby announcements and start passing them out to family. It has taken me a long time because the stupid picture company messed up my order . Even though I paid them on time and was told that it would only take 7 to 10 days for me to get my pictures ,it took them almost 4 weeks to get here. I am beyond pissed about it but oh well. What can I do about it now I just know I wont order anything from them again.
I am getting ready to order the baby announcementst and start sending them out to friends and family. Let me know if any of you online friends want one and I will be sure to get it out to you.

I also need to schedule some family pictures cause we haven’t taken any in a long time. I wish I had some of my online photography friends living close to me cause they take awesome pictures.




A quick little getaway

We are planning a little vacation to Las vegas in the coming weeks. Well just outside of vegas which I believe is called Primm. We might also stay in vegas so here I am looking for deals on the net for rooms.
I have located some that have good deals like Westgate. They have affordable prices which is what we are looking for we dont have alot of money to spend on this vacation. We just want a quick vacation which doesnt take alot of money.

I think we are gonna stop and visit family out there too. I was hoping they will come and visit us at the hotel cause I really dont want to have to be in the car for long periods of time especially in the heat. We will see how are planning goes.




a little upset

I am upset that I missed the new show on oxygen called “dance your ass off” I wanted to watch it first because mayte garcia is one of the judges and I simply adore her. The other because it is no secret to anyone that I want to lose weight.

I have been looking for ways to lose weight that will have permanent results. My cousin has recommended for me to take the diet pills she is taking since it has been working for her but I dont know if I will have the same results as she has. Has anyone tried Apidexin? I still have time to research what is best for me but I do want to take a stance and do something about my weight. I am going to try and dvr the show next time it comes on and maybe dance along in the house to see if it works for me and helps me shed some pounds.




A little bit at a time

I have been looking online for a few things we need for the house. We need an attic fan so the upstairs part of the house can cool down and I need to replace the shower faucet because the water pressure comes out funny. I would love to have one of those fancy Grohe faucets but I might just have to settle for some cheap one. We cant go that cheap because I bought one from target and it was a piece of shit.

We also need to buy some paint but I want the glossy shiny paint the one we have on our walls is the dull paint and it stains easily. Little by little we need to makeover this house. I wish I could have a company makeover my house like extreme makeover :The home edition

I want to fix the yard but I need to just concentrate on one area at a time or nothing is going to get done. The good thing is we own this house so I can do whatever I want.




a little confession of sorts

I hate to admit but we have lived here a few months now and I still have boxes in the garage that haven’t been unpacked since we moved in. I had a good reason not to get to them though. I was bedrested because I had a high risk pregnancy with the twins so that got me off the hook but I will no longer have an excuse when my six weeks are up.

My hubby the big excuse maker tells me he can’t find the box cutter so therefore he cant do it. He is so full of crap I told him I will go out and buy another one if that is what is stopping him from emtpying out the boxes. He then tell comes up with another excuse. I telll you if you want something done you have to do it yourself.




I’ve been around

I have been quite silent these past few days but I have felt a little bit sad with the passing of Michael Jackson. I feel as if part of my youth left with him. I grew up listening to his music and it was through his music that I became best friends with my now sister-in law. Even though I didnt cry for days like my cousin did I have felt sad. He was the Elvis of our time. I choose not to remember all the bad things said about him and instead remember him by the music that I jammed to everyday.

In other news,
My cousin is getting ready to move and asked me what I did to relieve the stress of moving and the best advice I could give her was to buy moving kits because going to the stores and collecting boxes can be a pain in the ass. I am trying to convince her to move out here closer to me but I dont think she is going for it.
I tried to tell her that packing little by little everyday is better than waiting a few days before moving and trying to pack everything then. That to me is more stressful than doing it little by little.Oh and gets lots of help from whoever because it makes the packing go quicker. Hopefully this will be the last time she moves or at least for a few years.

I have to say that the past few days have been hot as heck. I want to invest in a small swimming pool because the kids are not going to be able to stand this hot weather without getting at least a small pool. I think I will be checking prices and trying to look for the best deal around
